What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Polyamide reverse osmosis (RO) membranes are widely used in seawater desalination and wastewater reuse, yet often fail to remove small toxic micropollutants. Herein, we develop a thermal-intensified interfacial polymerization (TIP) strategy to fabricate highly selective RO membranes against various micropollutants. Facile heating accelerates amine monomer diffusion, intensifying interfacial polymerization to form a highly crosslinked polyamide membrane. The resultant TIP membrane achieves rejection of 90.8%, 98.0%, and > 99% for boron, arsenite, organic micropollutants at neutral pH, respectively. Meanwhile, high temperature facilitates interfacial degassing and promotes the formation of more extensive nanovoids within the polyamide. These nanovoids increase membrane surface area and optimize water transport pathways, thereby boosting water permeance. The combination of high solute rejection and water permeance enables the membrane to achieve high water-micropollutant selectivity (e.g., water-boron). Our study demonstrates that TIP technique holds a great promise to fabricate ultra-selective polyamide membranes for desalination and wastewater reuse.
